 Anybody know of a good way to check the front to back spacing and parallel travel? In the 18 weeler furrows the bike gets wierd and it almost feels like the rear end is dog-tracking.
Thanx

not sure what dog tracking is - I thought that was what happened at the races...
I experience weirdness when riding in those tire ruts also - it's just the tire trying to climb the side of the rut. I usually try to stay out of them when possible.

Where is the trough? I haven't noticed anything but random turbulence.

hi Jim - it's what you get on asphalt roads with lots of truck traffic - tire ruts is probably the common term.
